American Indian Names

Three American Indian children were sitting around with their father when the youngest said, ``Father, how did you come up with our names?''

``Well,'' the father says, '`when each of my children were born, I named them after the first thing I saw outside. For example, after your older brother was born, I looked outside and saw an eagle flying in the sky so I named him Soaring Eagle. When your sister was born, I looked outside and I saw a fawn scampering away, so I named your sister Running Deer. So why do you ask Black Dog Shitting?''
